Black v. Amen

352 U.S. 888, 77 S. Ct. 127

Opinion

Petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit granted limited to question 1 presented by the petition for the writ which reads as follows:

“1. A question presented is whether a number of persons asserting separate and distinct demands as to which there were some common questions of law and fact, may intervene in a proceeding in a federal court, regardless of the citizenship of each intervener or other jurisdictional requirements, as the Court of Appeals held they might do, merely because the original plaintiff in this so-called spurious class action possessed the requisite jurisdictional requirements, including diversity of citizenship.”

Mr. Justice Reed took no part in the consideration or decision of this application.
